Well, after 6 hours of surgery on Wednesday followed by 24 hours in the recovery room (because of no beds on the surgery floors), I'm home. Actually, I was back home Thursday evening straight from the recovery room.

The surgery went well. I'm minus my thyroid and the lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. So now it's R&R (rest and recovery). No lifting for a month, but the keyboard isn't heavy. I'm still working all the drugs out of my system, so I'm not up to par yet. I felt reasonably good on Saturday (lasted a couple of hours), and I was able to answer a few emails, etc. I even tried to work on Tommy a little, but the spellchecker failed because of being overworked. It appeared that the connection between the fingers and the brain wasn't ready to be used, so that got put aside for now. And, I still have the radioactive iodine pill to swallow.

I do have a chapter of Tommy, that was almost ready for publishing when I went into the hospital. If, between a doctors appointment this afternoon and one tomorrow, I get a chance to go over it to be sure that it's clean I will publish it tomorrow. But, no telling when the next one will be ready.
